Heart Rate and Cadence monitors advice

Hi guys,

I'm doing winter turbo training and would like an easy way to measure heart rate during the ride but I hate chest bands. Is there any kit you recommend that doesn't need a chest band. Got an iPhone 5 mounted on the bike so something that connects to an app would be great.

Also, best option for a cadence monitor that would connect to ideally the same app?

Budget ok but not huge so good value important

Thanks for your help

    If an HRM doesn't use a chest band, it's probably not worth using, tbh.

    No heartband = no use is how it was phrased to me.

    4iiii's use a chest band but also ties into the cadence (plus speed and power if desired) so they are all at your eyeline/fingertips in real time. All goes direct into an iphone for recording/saving/studying later.
